Benefits of technology
[0007]It is a related object of the present invention to provide a set of toys which interactively cause each other to perform a desired action, each action accompanied by a signal to the other toy to perform a responsive action.
Problems solved by technology
However, the doll typically only performs a single action (e.g., the doll says a single word or phrase, or moves in a desired manner) without saying anything more until the activation switch is pressed again.
Thus, although several activation switches may be provided, each switch causing the doll to performed a desired action (e.g., say a specific word or phrase or move in a desired manner) associated with that snitch, once the action is completed, the doll is idle.
Moreover, a set of interactive toys which each perform a desired action in addition to transmitting a signal to another toy has not yet been provided with the capability of being programmed by an external, wireless control device such as a common household remote control unit which merely signals one of the toys to perform a desired action, that action then triggering a cascade of mutual activation and response.

Embodiment Construction
[0019]In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a set of toys are provided for interacting with one another independently of user input other than an initial activation of one member of the set to commence interaction. A first toy is actuated to perform a first desired action. Actuation may either be caused by actuation of a hard-wired activation switch or by transmission of a wireless signal, such as a signal from a remote control unit. Upon completion of the desired action, the first toy activates a second toy to perform a second desired action, typically in response to the first desired action. In the simplest form of the invention, once the second toy completes the second desired responsive action, the action sequence is complete, and the toys remain inactive. However, if desired, the second toy may perform a third desired action, such as a reaction-inducing action, after completing the second desired action. Upon completion of the third (reaction-inducing) act...

Abstract
A set of interactive toys that perform a sequence of actions in response to one another without external activation other than an initial actuation to begin the sequence of actions. Preferably, each toy has an activation switch and / or a receiver for a wireless signal such as an infrared signal which activates the toy. Upon activation, the toy performs a desired action, such as the enunciation of a speech pattern, and signals another toy to perform a responsive action. Preferably, the toy are capable of performing several different action sequences, such as the enunciation of different conversations, the performance of different movements, etc. Additionally, the toys are programmable by a remote control device. The remote control device either functions as an activation switch, initiating a random or predetermined (yet not user determined) sequence of interactions, or as an interaction selector, such that a desired sequence of actions may be selected.
